Eels Confirm Australian Tour

SYDNEY, Australia (Universal Music Australia) - 'An immensely personal and highly listenable pop masterpiece.' - Detroit Free Press
'Shimmering' Critic's Choice - New York Times
'Absolute stone masterpiece' - Entertainment Weekly
The album of a lifetime' -Time Out New York
Heavenly!' – Rolling Stone

Led by Mark Everett, the hyper-talented misfit who calls himself 'E', and boasting the single most critically acclaimed album of 2005 in Blinking Lights & Other Revelations, The Eels return to Australia to perform three shows in three days proving the adage that good things come in small doses.

The band's third visit to Australia will see them deliver their greatest and most elaborate live show experience yet: A seven piece band... A string quartet… An unforgettable home movie presentation… Trash cans percussion… And a guy playing a saw…

'It's a pretty ambitious venture, the most difficult tour I've ever had to put together in terms of preparation. You know, I've been thinking of these gigs as a concert for the adult in all of us, a concert to comfort your inner adult', says Mr. E of the current tour.

But despite attempts to keep the tour tasteful and restrained in tone, things have still got a little out of control. It's clear that some Eels' fans aren't going to let a small thing like
an 'adult' gig stop The Eels from rocking their world!

There will be no more shows, and if rumors are to be believed, no more tours… Eels - Blink and you will miss them…
